I tend to raise/fold the river here against an unknown, I understand that against a TAG, raising here is likely bad, but I think on average an unknown Villain will bet here often enough w/two pair, without really thinking through that most of what you call/raise with here on this board has him beat. Do those saying call the river think that an unknown will always just check/call the river w/QT/KT/KQ/A5 etc? I've seen a weirdly played two-pair in this situation before, but maybe my default here is spewing.

Im sorry, why is everyone afraid of the gutshot getting there? Wouldn't this likely be some shitty 2 pair that you have crushed?


Unless Im seeing something incorrectly, Im raising without a second thought...

its not really that easy. you are costing yourself money by raising this. here's why:

a) just by sheer bayes theorem, its more likely that he had a pair + gutshot on the turn and hit a straight on the river than it is that he had a pair+gutshot on the turn and hit 2 pair on the river.

b) raising and folding to a 3bet costs you more a little bit of value in two ways: one, he may fold 2 pair but he will never ever ever fold the nuts. two ,he will always 3bet with the nuts, and he may even 3bet without the nuts if he think theres a reasonable chance you are raise folding (although this is extremely unlikely). this means you gain slightly less than 2 bets when ahead and you lose slightly more than 2 bets when behind.

so in general only point 1 is needed to make it a call instead of a raise, but point 2 is even more reason.

Nice. This is a very astute point I don't recall ever seeing posted before.
